john boehner told everyone two years ago the country would not default on its debt. >> do you agree with administration officials and other economists that defaulting on the full faith and credit of the united states would be a financial disaster? >> that would be a financial disaster, not only for our country, but for the worldwide economy. >> and president obama reminded congress the economic damage done by playing games with the debt limit. >> the last time republicans in congress even flirted with this idea, our aaa credit rating was downgraded for the first time in our history. our businesses created the fewest jobs of any month in nearly the past three years and, ironically, the whole fiasco actually added to the deficit. >> republicans basically had no choice but to retreat from their hard line position, negotiating with the american people. if the country defaulted, they would be responsible for a global economic collapse. the new plan for a three-month increase guarantees another debate in the next few months. okay, let's have it. it also shows republicans never had any intentio

chamber of commerce said it was pleased with the ruling as did house speaker john boehner who accused the obama administration of using the nlrb to impose regulations that hurt our economy. the ruling puts the new consumer financial protection bureau director richard cordray in a vulnerable position as well because president obama used a similar maneuver to install him last year. brian, back to you. >> hello. there we go. >> thank you very much eamonn javierers. okay. some final thoughts. kate kelly obviously we've been watching all day here on cnbc the epic battle between ackman versus icahn, a real clash of styles here. >> that's what i think, mandy. what you're seeing is in this case an older generation versus the younger whipper snapper generation. i actually think even in ackman's own circle of friends there is a split emerging in terms of the public, you know, activism that ackman espouses the four-hour presentation, using the press to kind of get the message out versus the much more low key let my filings speak for themselves. that's what you're seeing from david einhorn increa
